Hey! I'm Manda.

I’m a product designer and graduate of the York/Sheridan Design program. Driven by an unyielding sense of optimism and a desire to bring people together using design, I particularly enjoy tackling projects that relate to community building. Through my design practice, I hope to put smiles on people’s faces and craft joyful experiences. Currently a graphic & web designer at Impact Public Affairs!

When I’m not designing, you can find me...
• Writing snail mail to my friends
• Reading comic books
• Practising my Spanish
• Climbing some rocks
• Curating a sick Spotify playlist
